[QUOTE="TerryB, post: 1617629, member: 336929"] I'm on Yosemite 10.10 on a brand new MacBook Air, so I'm not sure which changes are the computer and which are the OS. It's taking a little getting used to, but it's much faster and most of the programs work as expected. Mail was a little wonky, so I just surrendered and loaded Thunderbird instead. Micro$oft hasn't upgraded the Office Suite since 2011, so I didn't even want to try and load that onto this computer. I'm doing my level best to learn Pages, Numbers and Keynote - all programs that I avoided for years. If I can learn to love those, I will be happy. I just hate to keep giving money to gates et al. FWIW I didn't use the migration assistant, since my other two computers (mac mini 2007 and MBPro 2007) were just too old. So what I did was a massive backup of both older computers onto a 2 TB external drive. Then I did a clean up of those files and merged duplicates, etc. Then I copied all relevant and updated folders onto my new laptop. It was actually very fast. That way any anomalies on the old computers weren't copied onto the new laptop. I could be wrong and I may discover things I wish I had done differently. (probably while traveling in some foreign country...) But for now, this is an intuitive, fast, and easy OS to use. [/QUOTE]
